Date Oct. 14, 1993Synthetic inducible eukaryotic promoters for the regulation of transcription of a gene achieve improved levels of protein expression and lower basal levels of gene expression. Such promoters contain at least two different classes of inducible elements, usually by modification of a native promoter containing one of the inducible elements by inserting the other of the inducible elements. In embodiments, additional metal responsive elements (MREs) and/or glucocorticoid responsive elements (GREs) are provided to native promoters, particularly the hMT-IIA and MMTV-LTR promoters. One or more constitutive elements may be functionally disabled to provide the lower basal levels of gene expression.

Abstract: A spinal fixation system is provided for engagement to the spine of a patient between several vertebral levels, which includes an elongated spinal rod configured for placement adjacent the spine. The system includes a number of vertebral fixation elements, each including a vertebra engaging portion and a rod engaging portion formed by a pair of posts extending from the vertebra engaging portion. The vertebral fixation elements are engaged to the spinal rod each by way of a top-loading clamp that permits access directly from the top of the instrumentation site for tightening the system. In particular, the clamp includes a body defining an elongated bore configured to receive the spinal rod therethrough so that the rod can at least initially slide along the length of the bore. A pair of threaded bores extend from opposite top and bottom surfaces of the body, each intersecting the elongated rod bore. The clamp further includes a projection extending from the body terminating in a T-bar arranged generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spinal rod. The T-bar includes a clamping surface directed inwardly toward the elongated bore that is configured to engage the pair of posts of the vertebral fixation element. A set screw is provided that is threaded into one of the threaded bore bearing against the spinal rod disposed within the rod bore, so that the set screw clamps the rod and the posts of the vertebral fixation element against the T-bar.

Abstract: A stent (220) made of a shape memory alloy, such as nitinol, comprises a coiled wire having at least one section wound in one sense and at least one section wound in the opposite sense. The stent (220) is deployed by being tightly wound on a catheter (24) and immobilized thereon at its respective end points (42) as well as at at least one intermediate point, such as points (140) where the winding changes direction. The immobilization may be by means of threads (28) engaged by wires (132, 133) through bores (232, 233) in the catheter interior. These threads (28) can be selectively released by successive removal of the wires (132, 133) so that the intermediate points (142) of the stent, for example, may be released before the end points (42) thereof. The threads (28) can alternatively be released by melting upon heating, or by breaking e.g. by using electrically conducive wires and applying current thereto. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A caulking gun and cartridge combination is provided with afterflow prevention. The cartridge has a tubular body (8), a forward dispensing opening (9) at a forward end of the tubular body, and a backwall (11, 12) movably disposed within the tubular body (8). The caulking gun has a trough (1) for receiving the cartridge, and a piston (4) movable parallel to the trough (1). A trigger handle (23) is used for pushing the backwall (11) forward within the tubular body and causing a reduction of volume within the chamber (13) in the cartridge. The backwall slides substantially in a contact-less manner within the tubular body, preferebly by way of a reduced diameter (OD) of the backwall (11) relative the inner diameter (ID) of the tubular body (8), so that it is pushed backwardly when the body retracts radially after actuation. Alternatively, the cartridge body may be prevented from expanding or may even be actively squeezed so that afterflow caused by the volume reduction of the relaxing tube body is safely prevented.

Abstract: A method for assay of normal aggrecan wherein normal aggrecan capable of binding hyaluronan is separated from proteoglycan incapable of binding hyaluronan so that only normal aggrecan can be detected, and a measurement kit used for the assay. Normal aggrecan thus separated is detected with a means for detection of proteoglycan. The specimen is preferably synovial fluid from the joint to be examined. A method for evaluation of information on a joint wherein information on the amount of normal aggrecan and the amount of total proteoglycan in the specimen is detected with said method and said measurement kit for assay of normal aggrecan, such information is compared with the previously obtained information on the amount of said substances in synovial fluid from a normal joint, and the information is evaluated to be the one derived from a normal joint or a pathological joint based on the absence or presence of significant difference. Presence of significant difference is considered to indicate a disease selected among a group of diseases consisting of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, and gout. This invention is usable for biochemical diagnosis of joint diseases in the field of orthopedics. Determination of the concentration of normal aggrecan and the percentage of normal aggrecan in total proteoglycan is useful for differentiation between a normal joint and a pathological joint, for understanding of the pathological conditions, such as the type of the joint disease and estimation of the prognosis, and also for evaluation of the effect of therapies.

Abstract: Heat shield panels (4) arranged below a hot material path are supported in a manner which allow limited movement. Carry-over bars (10) at opposite ends of each panel are also displaceably mounted and have bearer elements (20) which lie below the panels. When a carry-over bar is struck by distorted material, it will be momentarily displaced and, through supporting engagement of the bearer elements with the panel, displacement of the panel also occurs, so disturbing loose deposits on its top faces (4c). Occasional agitation of the panels is thereby provided passively and the build-up of deposits on a panel top face can be countered in a manner which allow the angle of slope of the top faces to be reduced.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A recording system that enables single authorized recordings of protected broadcasts be made. Subsequent unauthorized copies are prohibited by encoding a signal that causes the broadcast to be obscured during playback of the unauthorized copies. A broadcast is encoded to indicate that a single copy is authorized. If a copy is authorized, a control signal is input to the recording device wherein the signal is conditioned for recording and prior to placement of the conditioned signal on the recording medium the copy protect signal is encoded. Thus, if a second copy (which is unauthorized) is made, the copy protect signal will cause the recorded second copy to be obscured making the copy of little value to the unauthorized copier.
